Thank you Jay,

The light was low forcing me to shoot at ISO 12800 but with a long lens (1280mm equivalent) so the little fellow pretty much filled the frame and with almost no cropping the noise didn’t amount to much.

A clear eyed Chipmunk rests briefly in the apple tree.

A Chipmunk takes a moment to enjoy the evening calm under a wild apple tree’s canopy on a branch near the trunk.

The White-Throated Sparrow.

A White-Throated Sparrow is standing on an Ash tree branch in the bush, catching a little mid morning sunlight from behind.

Thanks Tony,
I’m sure lucky to live near by such a place.

Colourful shadows above and below the autumn harvest fields.
#shadows #fields #clouds #autumn #landscapes 🌿
A low evening sun casts shadows from both the trees lining the river across the just harvested soy fields, and under the dense white clouds above, yet beyond the horizon is in full sunlight. (The photographer was able to hide his shade in that of the trees, as you can imagine a giant human shadow figure reaching “miles” across a flat, golden evening landscape is most likely to be an undesirable element.)

The Song Sparrow once more.
#Sparrow #birds #nature #wildlife 🪶
A Song Sparrow jauntily perches on wild rice stalks in the shallows of the river, stretching up to peer about in the evening sunlight.

Fab Amy - this puts me very much in mind of some of my favourite childhood books, from when I was learning to read - Dr. Dolittle (who has now come to be regarded as having a racist colonial outlook) and his Pushmi-Pullu.
Cheers.

Thanks Rosemarie,
I found it striking as it came “out of the camera” and ended up reducing the saturation a little to make it more credible!

An evening by the Muskrat’s pool.
#skies #clouds #muskrats #nature 🌿
The ripply water before the Muskrat’s dam reflects with astonishing intensity, magnifying its colour and portent, a blue sky crowded by ripply white clouds,, while framed with dark mud, and the lively greens and yellows of the Autumn vegetation in full low sunlight.

Drone Fly on a Marigold Flower - a gentle pollinator at work.
#fly #insect #nature 🌿
A friendly Drone Fly, who’s a Honey Bee imposter, is busy pollinating a fragrant, splendidly orange Marigold Flower, on a very bright Fall mid-morning.

Here the autumn Geese seem to have come and gone.
#Geese #birds #BirdOfTheDay #nature #wildlife 🪶
Backlit Canada Geese fly in one of their myriad of formations, screened by trees losing their leaves against a grey blue sky.

Bounding to safety in the twilight.
#Raccoon #nature #wildlife 🌿
A young raccoon gallops to the safety of the bush through the field edge in the twilight. Something about the dusky light seems to give this creature a mild ghostly glow - perhaps it’s the season.

The setting sun shines on the bush beyond the soybean field, revealing the developing autumn colours. The ripe soy crop will be harvested any day now so I’m trying to soak in its beautiful bronze tones to nourish the palette of my mind’s eye throughout the coming winter.

A handsome Yellow Jacket.
#Wasp #insects #nature 🌿
A handsome Yellow Jacket poses on a Day Lily leaf in the full morning sunlight. I don’t think she looks at all like that buzzing nuisance who wants our lunch.

The intrepid Song Sparrow.
#Sparrow #birds #nature #wildlife 🪶
A Song Sparrow avidly heads downwards from its perch amidst many small branches. It appears to have a great deal of focus and intent. It’s early Autumn and although the background is still green the foremost branches are already bare.
